US demand for fluoropolymers will rise 5.3 percent per year to $2.3 billion in 2019, with volume totaling 180 million pounds. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) will remain the largest value segment, while polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) will grow at the fastest rates. The construction and electrical/electronic markets will grow the fastest.This study analyzes the $1.8 billion US fluoropolymer industry. It presents historical demand data (2004, 2009 and 2014) and forecasts (2019 and 2024) by product (e.g., PTFE, FEP, PVDF, fluoroelastomers, PVF), application (e.g., coatings and liners, mechanical parts and components, films, additives), and market (e.g., industrial processing, electrical and electronics, transportation equipment, construction).The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 33 industry players, including Arkema, Asahi Glass, and Daikin Industries.
